Three scientists\u2014Papaia, Banani, Ravioli\u2014and their assistant Igor, who were supposed to attend the famous dark matter conference, miss their flight and end up on the other side of the world. Arriving at the wrong airport, they book a hotel for the night, but it\u2019s not exactly what they expected\u2026 meaning, it\u2019s awful. During the trip, Ravioli downloads a study on the historical reliability of the gospels.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re in Banani\u2019s room, where Banani is trying to cool down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani calls Ravioli again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Hello, who\u2019s speaking?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: It\u2019s me again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: You still haven\u2019t managed to sleep?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: No, I was collecting rainwater in a plastic bottle,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026and while I was waiting, I thought: \u201cWhy not have a chat with Ravioli?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Well, I was trying to sleep.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: I was reading that the Church Fathers confirm that the Gospels were written by their traditional authors in the first century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Yes, we have several quotes from the early Christian writers. According to tradition, the first Gospel written was that of Matthew, a disciple of Jesus, who wrote it for the Jews, in their language, which was Aramaic or Hebrew. According to tradition, Mark, the interpreter and close associate of Peter, wrote his Gospel based on Peter\u2019s preaching while they were in Rome. Then, Luke, a companion of Paul, wrote his, mainly based on his testimonies. Finally, John, a disciple of Jesus, was the last to write while in Ephesus.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor then said: “Ah, Banani is that special kind of insomniac\u2014the one who doesn\u2019t suffer alone but makes sure everyone joins in the experience!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
